Author diversity
Based only on publicly self-identified info (author bios/interviews, birth years). For Gender and Author age, "Unknown" means we haven't found public info either way, not that it doesn't exist. For LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC, no confirmed public record counts as No/Not BIPOC — those entries are marked * in the drill-down list below, since that's an assumption, not a confirmed fact. Alive / Deceased reflects each author's status as of today, not at the time their pick was written.
